Santa Clause came to our house last night and look what he brought Olivia!!!

Christmas Eve
We let Olivia open one of her presents on Christmas Eve. She picked one that was from Mamah. She opened it and it was a 2nd Christmas ornament. (Thank you so much Mamah) She even put it on the tree. Another picture is of our tree skirt. We started a tradition in my family that every year all the children put their hand print on the skirts and my mom's skirt has all the grandchildren's prints. It's pretty neat and by the rate my family is going with having babies, my mom's skirt will be full pretty soon! hehe...

Tea Party

Nana, Papa Joe, and Tia sent Olivia a little tea set for Christmas....sorry Nana, but she opened it a couple of days before Christmas. She saw it when we opened the box and that was all she wrote! She loves it though and the other night she wanted to have a tea party with her Bear. She knows that she is suppose to pour the tea in the cups and drink it and everything. She's a smart little 18 month old!

Olivia was wrapping herself with wrapping paper while I wrapped gifts. It was priceless but she knows when I want to take her picture, so she won't look at the camera.

Here are just a few random pictures we took this week.

4D Ultrasound

Today, we also went and had a 4D ultrasound done of our little bundle of joy! It was so neat. I had debated on whether or not I wanted to see her, but I wanted to make sure we knew the sex this time. She wanted to lay on her side the whole time, so a lot of the pictures are profile shots. Olivia liked watching her at first, but then couldn't figure out what was going on, so she played while we watched. The baby kicked and moved her arms a lot. She also yawned a couple of times, sucked her thumb and stuck her tongue out. We told Olivia that she was sticking it out at her and she giggled. It was such a neat experience. The tech told us that she has a lot of hair already, so I guess she is going to be like Olivia. She weighs 1 lb 10 oz and her heart rate was 128. She was actually measuring 24 weeks and I am about to be 26, so the tech said maybe she will be smaller than Olivia was, which I'm hoping since she was 8 lbs 2 oz! Well, we hope that you enjoy the pics as much as we do! The time is getting closer and closer!

Ho, Ho, Ho....Merry Christmas!!

Olivia went and sat on Santa's lap today. She talked to him for a little bit and even sang "Jingle Bells" to him for a second but as soon as she got in his lap, that was it! The first picture they took she had calmed down and was really good, but of course, Santa had his eyes closed. So then she started crying again and this is what we got. I love it though because everyone needs a "crying in Santa's lap" picture! After we picked her up, she waved to him and blew him a kiss. She just wanted to make sure he was still going to bring her all the toys she wanted...hehe!

I am happy to announce that I am a VERY proud Aunt of a little boy, Hayden Powell Presley. He was born tonight around 6:00 pm, weighed 6lbs 12 oz, and is 19 1/2 inches. Congratulations to you, Bubba and Karrie. I am so excited to have him finally here....I wished that I could be there with you!!! We love yall!

Here are some pictures from the past couple of weeks. Some are from Thanksgiving at my parent's house. Then, the day after Thanksgiving when we and got our Christmas tree. Olivia liked playing with the lights for a little bit, and looking at all the ornaments. She got to decorate her little tree that we put in her room. She also liked her "sock", which was her stocking. Other than that, everything is great. I am 24 weeks now. Time is going by very fast with this pregnancy. She is a little kicker and puncher like her sister was. I'm showing quite a bit now, but I'm definetly not as big now as I was with Olivia. I guess I'm just carrying this one differently. Well, we wish Happy Holidays to everyone and I'll post more pictures soon!
